Patent EP-1438836-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SWART WILLIAM D
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2002-10-10
Abstract: An aggregator, operating in a digital communications network, includes a request and results processing server, a search engine server coupled to the request and results processing server and a content acquisition server coupled to the request and results processing server. A request and results processing server receives a request for content, the search engine server searches for the content and the content acquisition program acquires content for delivery to the user. The request and results processing server includes a search request processor that receives information related to a user's search request and provides the information to a search results form builder that creates an electronic search request. The search request may be augmented by using a content suggestion engine to add additional search terms and descriptions to the search request. The aggregator may also include a decoder that decodes program content and program metadata from remote sources for storage at the aggregator, and an encoder that encodes content metadata and programs for delivery to the user. The aggregator may also comprise one or more crawlers, such as a content crawler, to look for program content in one or more digital communications networks.

Abstract: A lighting controller is disclosed that automatically adjusts a lighting device based on user activity. The disclosed lighting controller processes at least one of audio and video information to identify predefined user events that suggest that a lighting device should be activated or adjusted. In one implementation, a number of behavior rules define various user activities or events that suggest that the user would like to activate or adjust a lighting device. Each rule contains one or more conditions, and, optionally, a corresponding action-item that should be performed when the rule is satisfied to activate or adjust the lighting device. Upon detection of a predefined event, the corresponding action, if any, is performed by the lighting controller.

IPC: G06T1/60

Abstract: Display controllers are typically optimised to suit displays arranged
in one orientation. Increasingly, displays are provided which may be
used in a variety of orientations. Accordingly, a display controller
(5') is provided for controlling a display (40) having a plurality of
pixels (60) forming a frame, the frame comprising a plurality of lines
of the pixels. Frame storage means (20) store a frame of pixel values
arranged as a plurality of adjacent tiles (70;70';70";70"'), each tile
comprising a plurality of pixel values, each pixel value being
associated with a pixel of the display. A plurality of line buffers
(80;80';80") store respective lines of pixel values of the frame. Also,
tile selection logic (10') retrieves tiles from the frame storage means
and provides the tiles to the line buffers for subsequent supply to the
display, the tile selection logic being operable to receive an
indication of rotation of the display, and to retrieve the tiles in an
order dependent on the indication of rotation so as to cause a
counter-rotated frame to be displayed in the event that the display is
rotated. When the display is rotated to a new orientation, the tile
selection logic retrieves adjacent tiles from the frame storage means in
a different order to thereby cause the frame to be displayed on the
display in a manner which counters the effect of its rotation. Through
this approach, the pixel values in the frame storage means are not
required to be updated to account for any change in rotation of the
display. Furthermore, access efficiency is maintained by retrieving data
from the frame storage means since complete tiles comprising a plurality
of pixels are retrieved instead of retrieving individual pixels.

Abstract: A privileged data table is provided to maintain a list
of those regions of a data memory which contain privileged
data. When a data access operation is attempted, a privilege
rule enforcer compares the address of the memory being
accessed to the list of privileged regions. If the memory
address falls within a privileged region then the memory
access operation is blocked unless the instruction accessing
the memory has been securely authorised by a code verifier.
A privileged instruction table is provided to maintain a
list of instructions stored in an instruction list that have
been verified. When an instruction is fetched from the
instruction list, an instruction privilege identifier
compares the instruction being fetched with the list of
verified instructions, and generates a signal indicating the
privilege status of the instruction. Instructions are
blocked according to the privilege signal. Only privileged
instructions are allowed to modify the contents of the
privileged data table and the privileged instruction table.
The process of blocking unauthorised memory operations may
be performed in accordance with a set of further rules as
defined by a rule signal. All components of the system are
contained on a single monolithic semiconductor integrated
circuit.

Abstract: A self-cleaning water filtration system includes a pre-filter to filter oils
and relatively medium sized particles in a water flow, a multi-stage filter to
purify and provide a second level of filtration to the water flow, and a self-cleaning
filter to provide a third level of filtration to the water flow. Water flow
through the filter media of the self-cleaning filter is redirected to flush waste to
a containment-tank filter. The self-cleaning filter has a purge output, which
may spray the pre-filter to substantially remove particles from the pre-filter for
collection in the containment tank. The multi-stage filter may have at least two
layers of filter media. The pre-filter may be disposable and comprised of a
mineral sanitizer positioned between two layers of an oil absorbing fabric. The
water flow through the filter media of the self-cleaning filter may be redirected
in response to an occurrence of either a change in output water pressure or an
indication from a timer occurring on a regular basis. In some embodiments,
100% filtration of water is provided.

Abstract: The detector has a detection pixels array with each pixel (1) including microbolometric type thermal detector and delivering electric current representing detected radiation. A constant value current inherent to detector biasing is extracted from the current by global baselining. Adaptive baselining specific to each pixel generates current for subtraction from reference signal in a memory integrated at level of the pixel.  Global baselining is carried out by a thermally isolated bolometer. The adaptive baselining is carried out by a programmable current generator and is a function of the dispersion inherent to the pixel considered relative to the reference signal.
